Colour-wise, the big trend for this year, as decreed by Pantone, is Rose Quartz & Serenity, a delightful dusty pink and dusky blue combo that we’ve already featured, but pastels in general are coming back into the limelight.
Pastels have always worked well on kitchenware, especially on a set, because they add another level of interest to otherwise functional items. But don’t be afraid to splash them about in other rooms….tones like lilac, pink, mint green and baby blue can have a relaxing and calming effect, which is exactly what your home should feel like. Muted and pale shades work better on larger pieces of furniture, and if you combine with them with other prints and patterns, you avoid your space looking too sugary sweet.
